So when are you planning to manufacture an equivalent device at lower price? Just sell it for $99, you'll crush Mylan and still earn 10x margins.

  They've probably got a ton of lawyers who would come after you based on their patents. Doubt op has mega cash to fight that.

    I'm sure he can modify the design slightly. Maybe even improve it a bit. That would easily get around the patents.

      You don't have to get around the patents, you have to get around the lawsuits. Being right doesn't stop you from going broke defending yourself.

  Between the FDA and patent lawsuits, good luck doing this in the US. Several major drug companies have already failed miserably and Adrenaclick isn't anywhere near the huge success you apparently think it would be. http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/08/29/reverse-voxsplaining-drugs-vs-chairs/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/08/29/reverse-voxsplaining-dr...

    So are you saying it is not possible to provide an epipen equivalent at lesser price than mylan? Then what wrong are they doing again? It is literally not possible to sell the product at a lower price.

      Well, Adrenaclick does exist and is cheaper, but I'll assume you meant "very hard" rather than "not possible". It's hard because the US pharmaceuticals market is broken, something that Mylan is paying money to encourage now that they're on top. Have you read the post I linked to?
